Talazoparib Beyond BRCA (TBB) Trial
About the Study
The goal of the study is to evaluate the anti-cancer activity of (a type of treatment known as a ) in patients with advanced breast cancer with specific genetic mutations based on a blood, saliva, or tumor test. See the clinicaltrials.gov listing for additional information.
The study is open to people with advanced breast cancer. There are two cohorts both of which will receive the same treatment.
- Cohort A
- triple negative breast cancer and a tumor test that shows () based on the Myriad Assay, or
- Cohort B
- an inherited mutation or a mutation in their tumor in one of the following genes:
- MRE11
- ATR
- Fanconi anemia complementation group of genes (FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL)
- an inherited mutation or a mutation in their tumor in one of the following genes:
This study is not open to people with a or mutation.
Type of Study
This is an , single-arm study.
- The study has one arm. This means that all patients in the study will receive the same treatment, .
What the Study Entails
- Patients receive 1 mg by mouth daily.

Patients with advanced breast cancer who:
- do not have an inherited or mutation based on full sequencing and comprehensive rearrangement testing at an external reference laboratory (Myriad Genetics); patients with variants of unknown significance will be eligible
- have measurable disease
- have progressed on at least 1 chemotherapy regimen for treatment of advanced breast cancer; there is no upper limit on the number of prior therapies
COHORT A SPECIFIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
- and an score >= 42 on the Myriad Assay as assessed on a tumor biopsy sample.
- note: in the case that obtaining an adequate tumor biopsy is not possible, we will assess the score from the primary breast tumor
COHORT B SPECIFIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
- histologically confirmed HER2-negative breast cancer
- deleterious germline (inherited) or (tumor) mutation implicated in the () pathway, (excluding or ), based on germline multiplex gene testing or direct tumor next generation sequencing. Genes of interest include:
- , , , , , , , , , , MRE11, ATR, FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL, plus other HR-related genes at the discretion of the primary investigators.
- Any patient with a in or
- Prior treatment with a platinum agent (i.e. cisplatin or carboplatin)
- Prior treatment with a
- Non-measurable disease only
- Pregnant or nursing patients
- Any anti-cancer therapy within the past 21 days of the first day of treatment
- Brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases that are progressive or symptomatic, have not been previously resected or irradiated, or are the only site of measurable disease
- Other malignancy that is either active or for which patient has received treatment in the last five years excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- Use of any investigational product (IP) or investigational medical device within 28 days before day 1 of study drug
- Major surgery requiring a prolonged hospitalization or recovery within 21 days before day 1 of study drug
